Sustainable happiness : the mind science of well-being, altruism, and inspiration
\"Today's greatest health challenges, the so-called diseases of civilization--trauma, depression, obesity, cancer--are now known in large part to reflect our inability to tame stress reflexes gone wild and to empower instead the peaceful, healing and sociable part of our nature that adapts us to civilized life. The same can be said of the economic challenges posed by the stress-reactive cycles of boom and bust, driven by addictive greed and compulsive panic. As current research opens up new horizons of stress-cessation, empathic intelligence, peak performance, and shared happiness, it has also encountered Asian methods of self-healing and self-transformation more effective and teachable than any known in the West. Sustainable Happiness is the first book to make Asia's most rigorous and complete system of contemplative living, hidden for centuries in Tibet, accessible to help us all on our shared journey towards sustainable wellbeing, altruism, inspiration and happiness\"-- Provided by publisher.

Sustainable Happiness
Today's greatest health challenges, the so-called diseases of civilization-depression, trauma, obesity, cancer-are now known in large part to reflect our inability to tame stress reflexes gone wild and to empower instead the peaceful, healing and sociable part of our nature that adapts us to civilized life. The same can be said of the economic challenges posed by the stress-reactive cycles of boom and bust, driven by addictive greed and compulsive panic. As current research opens up new horizons of stress-cessation, empathic intelligence, peak performance, and shared happiness, it has also encountered Asian methods of self-healing and interdependence more effective and teachable than any known in the West. Sustainable Happiness is the first book to make Asia's most rigorous and complete system of contemplative living, hidden for centuries in Tibet, accessible to help us all on our shared journey towards sustainable well-being, altruism, inspiration and happiness.

Altruism and the Path of Engagement
While Disciples and Hermit Sages come from the Great Sages (the Buddhas),
Book Chapter
Inspiration-Turning Bliss to Light
(Aryadeva says) in the Integrated Practices that, if you possess the intuitive wisdom of realizing freedom of mind through the process of knowing the instinctual natures and the three luminances, at the time of the homogenous order (of four bliss-voids), you will dissolve the wind energies that move the virtuous and nonvirtuous natural instincts and the voids will dawn in sequence and you will enter into clear light transparency.

Living Altruism through Impassioned Vision
(Such process practitioners) have many (accomplishments), such as restraining the tenfold nonvirtuous actions with regard to objects, purifying their (mind/body) processes by means of initiation, guarding properly their vows and pledges, cultivating the concentration of the first (creation) stage, and being expert in the science of the control of passion.
Book Chapter
Self-Analysis, Insight, and Freedom
Apart from the discrimination of elements, there is no way to eliminate the contaminants (that drive the cycle of stress and trauma), and it is because of these contaminants that the world drifts in the ocean of (compulsive) existence. So it is with a view to this discrimination that the scientific teaching was proclaimed (by the Buddha).
Book Chapter
The Lifelong Path of Contemplative Health
Without veering towards either of these extremes (hedonism or self-denial), the Transcendent One awakened to the middle way, which gives rise to vision, which gives rise to knowledge, which leads to peace, to direct knowledge, to enlightenment, to Nirvana. And what, mendicants, is that middle way awakened to by the Transcendent One...? It is this noble eightfold path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.

Clearing the Mind for Social Engagement
Just as the linguist [gradually] teaches grammar, so the Buddha taught [various] teachings appropriate to the needs of disciples. Some [he taught] to counteract vice; some to cultivate virtue. Some [he taught] based on [the] dualism [of world versus Nirvana]. [And finally, he taught some] the profound, awe-inspiring practice of enlightenment not based on dualism, in essence, the openness that is compassion.

Introduction
And now, I think, the meaning of the evolution of civilization is no longer obscure to us. It must present the struggle between Eros and Death, between the instinct of life and the instinct of destruction, as it works itself out in the human species.
Book Chapter
Uniting Pure Inspiration with Perfect Clarity
\"Art\" is the magic (virtual) body which is the purity of the superficial reality, and \"wisdom\" is stated to be the ultimate reality, it being the clear light intuition that is of one taste with that (reality). \"Uniting together\" is uniting (them) indivisibly in actuality... Having made them one in the form of the great seal deity body, in the center of that vessel and essence you should meditate the form of the communion master altruist.
